We are running Unix SV.2 on an NCR Tower 32/600. We currently have routines to backup all of the user's files daily, but this seems to be wasteful. What I am looking for are any routines or advice on doing incremental back-ups. In essence, I want to be able to do a full backup of certain selected files and then back-up daily to streaming tape in cpio format any files that have been modified since the last back-up. I am looking for a routine that would do all of this in the middle of the night via cron and would also output a table so that a record could be kept of what files have been backed-up and when. Any information you could send me concerning this would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time posting to the net, so I hope I have sent this to the right group. ---- Shawn McDonald ...ihnp4!killer!tness1!tness5!mechsfm SWBT / Network Mechanization (512)377-6226 San Antonio, TX
